During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and subsequently to April 16, 2010, there were no disagreements with UHY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to UHY's satisfaction, would have caused UHY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its audit reports nor were there any "reportable events" (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
